§15-955.
   
   No insurer shall specify the use of non-original equipment
   manufacturer aftermarket crash parts in the repair of an insured's
   motor vehicle, nor shall a repair facility or installer use
   non-original equipment manufacturer aftermarket crash parts to repair
   a vehicle, unless the consumer is advised in writing. In all instances
   where non-original equipment manufacturer aftermarket crash parts are
   intended for use by an insurer:
   
   1. the written estimate shall clearly identify each such part; and
   
   2. a disclosure document containing substantially the following
   information in ten-point type or larger type shall appear on or be
   attached to the insured's copy of the estimate: "This estimate has
   been prepared based on the use of crash parts supplied by a source
   other than the manufacturer of your motor vehicle. Warranties
   applicable to these replacement parts are provided by the manufacturer
   or distributor of these parts rather than the manufacturer of your
   vehicle."
